Handbook of Human Resources Management

Human Resources topics are gaining more and more strategic importance in modern business management.

While most other management disciplines have their standards and procedures, Human Resources still lacks a broadly accepted basis for its work.- operational perspective Both the structured collection of reflected real-life experience and the multi-perspective view support readers in making informed and well-balanced decisions. With this handbook, Springer provides a landmark reference work on today’s HR management, based on the combined experience of more than 50 globally selected HR leaders and HR experts. Rather than theoretical discussions about definitions, the handbook focuses on sharing practical experience and lessons learned from the most relevant business perspectives: - cultural / emotional perspective- economic perspective- risk perspective
